Early Brainwashing of Children

"Tonka Roadway Rigs Police w/ Checkpoint Ahead Sign" A friend just sent me a text message with a photo of this "toy" while shopping for his 5 & 6 Year old boys. (Heck, they got a whole line of "Police State" toys to choose from)

"Keep the streets safe with Tonka Roadway Rigs! This free-wheeling Police truck is large in scale and pulls a tow hitch with an LED sign warning, Checkpoint Ahead using Action Signal technology. The Police truck is equipped with hyper-lighting and removable sign trailer. Additional road signs are printed on the package and are available as cut-outs" to create your own action scenes. "

(SICK... No Tonka for my Grandkids... EVER!... and I've bought lots over the years)

Lego does the same thing.

I think we are missing the point here and a great opportunity. This is not a "brainwashing" toy - this is an opportunity for parents to teach their children how to AVOID and DEAL with unconstitutional, illegal, and immoral checkpoints. Same probably with the other cop sets and with the Lego sets. I used and use Lego and other toys for teaching children AND adults how to deal with safety issues and other site problems all the time. Buy these and use them to make not only children but others aware of what is being done!
